Organic herbal spirit from South Tyrol (26% vol.)

The essence of the Dolomites in one sip: digestive, aromatic, and profoundly natural.

The Pfleg Organic Alpine Herb Liqueur by Nurse's yard

Pfleg is much more than a simple liqueur: it's the liquid synthesis of the Pflegerhof gardens. This spirit is born from the expert infusion of eight aromatic and medicinal herbs grown organically in Sant'Osvaldo, steeped not in neutral alcohol, but in fine organic pomace brandy. This choice gives the liqueur superior structure and complexity, while maintaining a moderate alcohol content (26% vol.), making it smooth and never overpowering on the palate.
The aromatic bouquet is a sensory journey through the mountain peaks: the balsamic freshness of peppermint and agastache intertwines with the warm notes of fennel and anise. In the background, the noble bitterness of centaury and holy thistle adds character and structure, while mallow and lemon balm envelop the whole with a soothing smoothness. It's the perfect digestif for those seeking Alpine authenticity, far removed from the artificial flavors and excessive sugars of industrial products.

The roots of this liqueur are deep in tradition

The production of herbal liqueurs is an ancient art in the farms of Alto Adige, born from the need to preserve the healing properties of plants for the long winter months. Pfleg revives centuries-old recipes where plants like Centaurea and Holy Thistle were revered as powerful "bitters" for the stomach. The use of grape marc brandy as an extract base harks back to the peasant tradition of wasting nothing from the grape harvest, ennobling the byproducts of the vine with herbs from the medicinal garden.

Choosing Pfleg means taking care of yourself

Beyond the pleasure of tasting, Pfleg offers tangible beneficial properties thanks to its rich botanical composition. Fennel and mint are known carminatives that eliminate bloating; centaury and holy thistle stimulate digestion and liver function. Lemon balm adds a relaxing effect, making this liqueur the ideal ally to conclude a hearty meal or to unwind in the evening, promoting a peaceful night's sleep thanks also to its moderate alcohol content.
